Blue-Eyed Baby

Bright blue is just as neutral as brown or gray, so bag it and show your electric youth. Don’t be afraid…of the attention you’re gonna get!

First, line eyes with a classic navy blue. The best liquid sapphire is Givenchy Parad’Eyes in Blue Lagoon. The deep navy line is the frame for super duper blue, so draw on your favorite shape, a sultry cat eye, cool block shape or paint-splattered ends.

Second, highlight inner corner, disappearing into the center of the lid, with a mega-bright metallic liquid cobalt blue such Make Up Forever’s Aqua Liner in 5. You could get as buck wild as you want with the highlighting but remember it’s an accent color. Keep that in mind and you won’t look like your aunt when she was a gnarly teen in the 80s.

Third, finish with a creamy yet sheer blue on the lashes. I think the most beautiful product on the face of the earth right now is Dior’s DIORSHOW in 258. This mascara is made in France by artisans and smells of faint roses. Even when this tube is on its last leg the formula remains creamy velvety. The color is a perfect Mediterranean cobalt blue. Total perfection!

Bonus: NAILS! Matching your nails to your eyes is the same feeling you get when you buy an expensive-ass bra with the matching panties—it feels amazing. Vivid blue on the nails is actually very elegant and flattering to all skin tones. My favorite blue polish is Sally Hansen in Pacific Blue.
